Food Storage to Prevent Food Poisoning

Video Transcript

Hello, my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to talk to you about how to recognize and how to reduce the risk of getting food poisoning. In this clip I am going to talk about how you prepare food, but also how you store food, because it's very important cause many of the cases of food poisoning that come in is because they've eaten food that are left over and they never stored it or sealed in well in a proper manner. So, here I have left over sea food. Sea food is number culprit of getting a lot of the food poisoning cases. Here you can see, this is calamari, left out in the counter for a day. Now, there's a lot of germs in this. And if you're going to eat this, which I don't recommend, I feel that if you haven't stored it properly, in the fridge, straight away, you should throw it away. But, if you're going to eat this but then I recommend that you really cook it in a very high heat to kill of any of the bacteria that's rapidly spreading inside the food itself. So, my recommendation is if you're going to have left over food that you're going to eat, the things is you should actually get a container and throw away all of the left over foods in the container and then get cling film which would be the thing to do, is cover it up and put cling film over the whole food, the leftover food and then you put it in the, straight away in the refrigerator.
